#! /usr/local/bin/python

# Minimal interface to the Internet telnet protocol.
#
# It refuses all telnet options and does not recognize any of the other
# telnet commands, but can still be used to connect in line-by-line mode.
# It's also useful to play with a number of other services,
# like time, finger, smtp and even ftp.
#
# Usage: telnet host [port]
#
# The port may be a service name or a decimal port number;
# it defaults to 'telnet'.
